Sanmachi Suji (高山古町)
Here's what Lonely Planet says on this place:
The centre of the old town, this district of three main streets (Ichi-no-Machi, Ni-no-Machi and San-no-Machi) is lined with traditional shops, restaurants and museums. Sake breweries are easily recognised by the spheres of cedar fronds: some open to the public in January and early February (the schedule is available at tourist offices); most of the year they just sell their wares. For beautiful nighttime shots, bring a tripod and set your camera's exposure to long.
 |
| Sake breweries everywhere |
 |
| I exerted all my self-control in order not to go crazy again over "seasonal specials" here. |
 |
| There is an open area inside the shop where guests can enjoy sake / coffee. |
 |
| A miso shop. The miso is tasty but I didn't buy any since I don't quite know how / what to cook with it! |
 |
| A very cute shop selling cloth dolls |
 |
| Hida-gyu Nigiri Sushi Make sure you save stomach room for this! |
 |
| It's quite pricey but the beef is good. |
 |
| There is even certification to prove it! |
 |
| The chef is making my sushi! |
 |
| I got the Set "C" and everything is edible I can still taste the beef in my mouth! |
 |
| Just as I thought I am too full I got distracted again... Hobo Miso Buns!!! |
 |
| To borrow one of my friends' famous line: "Resistance is futile!" |
 |
| I ended up getting distracted by traditional Japanese sweets instead :P |
 |
| Ichigo Daifuku (草莓大福) I actually made this before. Click here. Now I know I need to make the wrappings thicker and the red bean paste more moist! |
 |
| The nice people at the shop even gave me a free daifuku!!! |
 |
| The beef stew looks so delicious but I had no room left! >.< |
 |
| I am still allowed to imagine what it tastes like, right? |
